Book Description
Jane's not happy. She's been packed off to England to fight in a war when she'd much rather be snogging Anyan. Unfortunately, Jane's enemies have been busy stirring up some major trouble -- the kind that attracts a lot of attention. In other words, they're not making it easy for Jane to get any alone time with the barghest, or to indulge in her penchant for stinky cheese. Praying she can pull of a Joan of Arc without the whole martyrdom thing, Jane must lead Alfar and halflings alike in a desperate battle to combat an ancient evil. Catapulted into the role of Most Unlikely Hero Ever, Jane also has to fight her own insecurities as well as the doubts of those who don't think she can live up to her new role as Champion. Along the way, Jane learns that some heroes are born. Some are made. And some are bribed with promises of food and sex.

Erosion
Author: Terry Tempest Williams
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 0374712298
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 330
Book Description
Timely and unsettling essays from an important and beloved writer and conservationist In Erosion, Terry Tempest Williams's fierce, spirited, and magnificent essays are a howl in the desert. She sizes up the continuing assaults on America's public lands and the erosion of our commitment to the open space of democracy. She asks: "How do we find the strength to not look away from all that is breaking our hearts?" We know the elements of erosion: wind, water, and time. They have shaped the spectacular physical landscape of our nation. Here, Williams bravely and brilliantly explores the many forms of erosion we face: of democracy, science, compassion, and trust. She examines the dire cultural and environmental implications of the gutting of Bear Ears National Monument—sacred lands to Native Peoples of the American Southwest; of the undermining of the Endangered Species Act; of the relentless press by the fossil fuel industry that has led to a panorama in which "oil rigs light up the horizon." And she testifies that the climate crisis is not an abstraction, offering as evidence the drought outside her door and, at times, within herself. These essays are Williams's call to action, blazing a way forward through difficult and dispiriting times. We will find new territory—emotional, geographical, communal. The erosion of desert lands exposes the truth of change. What has been weathered, worn, and whittled away is as powerful as what remains. Our undoing is also our becoming. Erosion is a book for this moment, political and spiritual at once, written by one of our greatest naturalists, essayists, and defenders of the environment. She reminds us that beauty is its own form of resistance, and that water can crack stone.

Book Description
Welcome to the world of Xeno Sapiens, where humans have taken alien DNA and created new beings in underground labs. One of those beings is Beast—the strongest there is. Beast's mate doesn't even know she's his. Controlling his immense strength means he'll hold off on claiming her… and thus, scaring her. But when humans take what's his, all holds are off and he'll move heaven and hell to get her back. Sunny has a hidden strength of her own. A dangerous power that can sap the life energy—the soul—of another during high emotion. She'll keep away because the last person she wants to hurt—and the person she feels strongest about—is Beast. There may be more pain in fighting her desire than in defending his soul. * The story behind the series: When futuristic Earth finds alien DNA and creates a new species of hybrids in hidden labs, Dr. Robyn Saraven helps the "creatures" escape. She uses her connections to establish their own city on Earth-Ground where they can learn, grow, and avoid the corruption and greed that created them. * Other books in the Genetically Altered Humans Series: Book 1—Xeno Sapiens Book 2—Earth-Ground Book 3—Siren Book 4—Beast's Beauty Book 5—Almost Human Book 6—Forbidden Touches Book 7—Coveting Ava Book 8—For Everly Book 9—Assassin's Mate Book 10—Sextet Book 11—Tempting Tempest Book 12—Falling For Trance Book 13—Damaged Goods Book 14—Alien's Bride Book 15—Dual Lives Book 16—Reson's Lesson Book 17—A Mate For Max Book 18—Dragon's Mate Book 19—Fated "Rena Marks's Xeno Sapiens series is intelligent, funny, and wildly erotic.
